How JRSolutions started their logo design journey

Summary

I have a logo at http://www.SBDCouncil.com, but I'm not married to it.
I need a clean, professional logo that will go well on a Journal cover.
Bold look...that says "SBD Journal"
You can use the original look, or come up with something completely new.

Company name

What inspires you and how do you envision the design for your business?

We are just launching a new small business coaching/resource program. It is geared at those looking to start a business or have a business that needs help.

I'm looking for a look that expresses confidence and will be foundational for building the SBD brand.

The next project will be to design the layout for the journal, so maybe keep that in mind.

Wants

- "SBD Journal" is the primary logo, somewhere with "Small Business Development" spelled out.
- Possible Tagline: A Practical Resource for Entrepreneurs, this tagline could play in better with the final journal cover layout, but that will be an additional project
